Mr.. AND MRS. BoWsER.
Mrs. Bowser's Warning to Young Women
Contemplating Marriage.

Mrs. BOwser's Warning to Young Women
Contemplating Marriage.
And there are other things about Mr..
Bowser which the public ought to know, and
which am determined to hold up as solemn
warning to such young women as may be
thinking of marriage.
For one thing, Bowser doesn't treat the
baby right. For the first few weeks he made
great fuss over it, and one little squeal at
midnighr would bounce him out of bed,
ready to go for doctor, without taking time
to pull his boots on Alas! what change!
The other night poor baby had the collie or
some other ailment, and it cried steadily
from IL to IL without Bowser moving an eye
lid Then reused him up to build fire
and make peppermint sling, and even be-
fore he got out of bed he said tthnnderin and
called the baby athingtn demonstrated
certainly did-and he turned ON me witlIs
u know what the young 'un needs! He
wants knocking down with q crowbar three
or four times to take the ugly out of him"
I've lived with Bowser good many years,
but never knew him in his true light until
that night. He went off down stairs, built
roaring fire, heated the tea kettle full of
water, and he brought that up in one hand,
the sugar box in the other, and the pepper
mint in his pocket, and sat them down on
the floor, and said:
There, now, either cure or kill him, but
don't bother me any more"
began to tell him what thought of him,
but he went to sleep and choked me off.
The next morning he tickled baby's feet and
tried to lessen the enormity of his crime in
our eyes, but we were firm.
1 knew just as well as could be when that
child was only Q tweeks old that Bowser
would give me trouble. Because he can run
lawn mower he argues that he can run
baby, and though tried to make him see
that there was a wide difference between the
two, l couldn't succeed, except to gain a
grudging admission that baby didn't run on
two wheels and work with ratchet. How
did he weigh the little darlings Held him up

The Llamas of Bolivia,

On leaving Tupiza we passed the first
llamas, driven by Indians The llamas are
very useful and rather pretty animals. When
full grown they are the size of stags, and are
very gentle and tame. They have beautiful
liquid eyes and are impressive. Through the
highlands of Bolivia and Peru they are much
used for packing merchandise. They carry
about eighty pounds. Their wool is also
used. They travel very slowly, about twenty
miles day, and can only be managed by
kindness. When tired out or abused they lie
down and nothing can make them get I'D.
Each herd has always a leader, which, with
bell around his neck, forms rallying point
for the rest. Generally the Indians orna-
ment them by passing strings of red wool
through the tips of their ears, pierced for the
purpose, and with collars of like material.
They walk with their heads slightly thrown
back
Whether out Of policy or through fellow
ship of patience l cannot say, but the Qui-
choas treat the llamas very kindly. Gem
orally girl walks ahead OF the troop as a
guide, and the animals follow without being
driven. When they hear or see anything un-
usual they stop, throwing their heads for
ward to watch. In the evening, when the
troop reaches its resting place, they are gath
cred close together and rope stretched
around the whole herd They are then un-
loaded and let loose-Bolivia Cor. San Fran

Visiting the Dime Museum.

No place is better adapted to the study Of
human nature in its many forms and condi-
tions than the dime museum. Through the
courtesy of my friend [ witnessed the per-
formance at his museum. The play was un-
deniably bad. It was of the blood curdling
order and contained the customary hero.
heroine and heavy villain. The Vaccinations
of the latter were on every occasion discov-
cred in tho nick of time by the hero, much to
the joy OF the small boys in the gallery and
the no less staid occupants of the orchestra
stalls During the two acts was present no
less than dozen shots were fired, and the
same number of men supposedly killed or
fatally injured. The powder waiting out
into the auditorium caused much discomfort.
but this in no way dampened the ardor of the
gallery gods or one whit lessened the pleasure
which the exciting incidents of the following
acts gave them. Old and blase theatre goers,
when tired of the legitimate, should, as re-
Taxation, visit the dime museum. There, al
though the play may not interest them, they
could take pleasure in the pleasure of others.

The Haughty wife.

In one Of the cities that lie over against
Boston there lives family whose masculine
head is a man who has won considerable
wealth, from humble beginnings not unlike
those of Commodore Vanderbilt, with the
difference that while he, like Vanderbilt, be-
gan as boatman, hs was expanded into the
banking business instead of into the railroad
business Ever since he became banker his
excellent wife has been smitten with the great
Importance of her husbands new occupation,
and has advertised it on every possible occa-
sion. The horse car conductors on the line
which runs into her city all know her and
smile when she enters the car and grandly
utters her commando

bankl"
One day lately trampish looking old fell
low with red nose got on the car just as the
bankers wife delivered her usual order to the
conductor. The old man watched her per-
formance curiously, and then arose, pulled
himself together and called out with a mag
niicent air that was iniinitable:
Conductor, let me off at my old woman's
peanut standl"
A roar went through the air, and any hus-
bands bank" has been alluded to more than
ever since that time Boston Record.

A Pathetic Incident.

Speaking of funerals, a pastor of rustic
parish once told of a queer scene at cere-
mony which he conducted. 1t was q child
who was buried, and the mother was too i'll
to go to the grave. She was also miserably
poor, and could afford no mourning And in
order that things might be as nearly fitting
as possible, the poor mother remained in bed
in the room in which the last prayers were
offered, and had black shawl which was
among her belongings spread wide upon the
bed, to serve as symbol of grief
She was s..elressed in mourning after q
fashion, and those who saw her endeavor
were touched both by her bereavement and
by her pathetic devotion to conventionality.

where English Manners are Copied.


The Union club enjoys the reputation of
having an extraordinary number of rich
members; but it has also great many poor
ones-sons of financially decayed families. Ii
abounds in old and elderly men, the young
men being comparatively very few. Between
the two cordial feeling of dislike exists.
Exclusiveness, based on the English model, is
one of the boasted features of the association.
No outside resident here is admitted beyond
the small reception room near the main en-
trance
The discipline of the club is never relaxed.
Many of its members are notably free and
fast, but they diligently avoid the corner of
Fifth avenue and Twenty first street when
out of condition. English manners are sedu-
lously aped there, as is evident from the heads,
always covered, at the Fifth avenue windows,
because hats are invariably worn in the Pail
Mall clubs. Unsociability, except among init
mates is closely observed and is considered
the proper thing. Members of the Union club
have an extravagant idea of the club, and gen.
orally of themselves.-New York Commercial

Twas at the dry goods counter
saw the maiden fair,
Her eye was like the mornings smile
And grace was in her air;
Her cheeks were like June roses,
Her lips like cherries bright,
If music in her voice had dwelt
She'd have been perfect quite.
But it was squeaky, sharp and shrill,
And grated on the ear, .--r
And was disenchanted when
heard her cry, "Ca-ash 'ere!''
